3 in the city of baltimore, there areenow more speed cameras per capita than any other city in the country.they generated millions of dollars in revenue last year, but now suspicions are growing. why do some roads have many cameras....and others have none? in our cover story, jeff abell investigates.. investigates....public safety...or public nuisance....? nuisance....? (20:01:24) "its just too buss out herea." here in reisterstown road crosses cold

spring lanea&. (20:00:05) "they flies up reisterstown roada&." neighbors have become all too familiar with the sounds of a crash. (19:59:49) (azure johnson) "they trying to turn and that's when thee hit each &potherr because, like, it wa just supposed to be an accident just nowa." this intersection sees about three crashes a montha. and not only is it prone to accidentsa.its free from photooenforcementa.though the city says cameras reduce accidents, you won't find them here at the intersection with the second highest accident rate in the city. (20:00:08) (audio) "they have cameeas in other areas where they need em herea&" (20:00:24) "you have a school, you have a daycare, but no cameraa." and its not the only danger zonea.where photo enforcement is absent. (20:08:38) (abell) "even here at monroe and washington where there are more crashes in one year than any other intersection in the city, enforcementa&.not down monroea&..nor washingtona.." (21:49:30) (map opens nats)

so we began mapping the citys top ten intersectionsawith the highest rate of accidentsaa& (nats of pins) we examined which of the ten had red light camerasa (red pin nats) speed camerasa& (green pin nats) and no camerasa (pin nats) (abell) (21:50:00) "eight offthose intersections had 'no' red light camerasa&.and four had 'no' speed cameras." the city is now determinnng whether cameras could reduce accidents pt these intersections. transportation directors say cameras aren't always the cure. (21:28:30)) (frank murphy) "a red light camera is a tool if that's the problem but if the problem is people not yielding to traffic, a red light camera can't solve that." so if the majority of those igh crash inteesections aren't photo-enforceda&..where are all those cameras being deployeda&.? (19:53:11) "i mean we haven't heard that many accidentsa&" one of them has been snapping motorists along northerr parkwaya&at an intersection that has seen far fewer crashes.but this camera,, which snaps speeders as they roll down a hill,, has proven to be a cash cow.in one

(19:53:48) (nikki connelly) "i don't think its really alleviating the problems on this road in particular. people aren't slowing down." (20:00:00) "that car right there almost got hita&" not much has changed in northwest baltimore eithera&.wwere the prospect for camerassat a dangerous intersection could come down to a photo finish.
